Already some students are arguing that rollover protection systems are useless. That seat belts are annoying and that “such and such’s friend was better off without a seatbelt in the accident”.

I hope these people never work for a major automobile manufacture or get a PE license.

By the sounds of it, they’d be perfect for Trump’s administration as the head of the IIHS.

Nah. They all sound like they can legibly write sentences and probably know what the agency is and does. That would disqualify them for sure.

Nope, they’ll get that PE license alright and quickly move up to senior positions in the company. If you though dieselgate was huge, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Yea, we don’t need seat belts. (NSFL- Yes, that is someone’s severed arm.)

“got into an accident because the car slept on ice and if he had his seat belt he could have been killed.”

I’m not qouting the rest cause either you’ll drink bleach or lose a brain cell. These are Industrial and Mechanical eng. students.

So Im guessing none of those alledged college students in the discussion realized in their studying that people with seatbelts have survived more than those that didn’t? Or are they just complaining so they don’t have to do homework? 8D

I don’t know. Rolling a new Volvo would probably feel better than rolling my 4Runner. Mainly because I’d feel confident the roof would hold in the Volvo.

if it makes you feel better, I just sat through a 3 hour HOA meeting where one of the topics was canceling earthquake insurance to save money (in an area along a fault-line expecting a major quake). Does it get better? yup! Canceling the earthquake insurance would save $12 a month, but each owner spends $30 a month on a cable TV package that they wont even discuss canceling.

It’s not safer at all. It’s safe compared only to other mid-late 90s SUVs. And those pillars on the GM trucks are thick compared to it. If you took the windshield out you could reach your hand entirely around the a- pillar.

I don’t know about the 4runner but the roof strength on the land cruisers of that era are crazy strong.

don’t know. I’ve seen lots of rollovers on the forum and they all seem to hold up pretty well.

The last one I know there were moving along quick enough to roll it a few times.

Pardon me, but what is the difference between those trucks ? They both appear to be GMT800 Silverado 2500s.

One has the a pillar and roof reinforced while the other doesn’t.

Wait a damn minute. You had to post a video of my DD, btw. The cab structures of those trucks should be identical, why did the one collapse and the other do fine? I need some context!

One is reinforced and the other isn’t. No idea when GM implemented that, but the difference is pretty scary.

shop-teacher > Pickup_man 01/24/2017 at 11:08

OK, so the reinforcement was added by GM at some point in the production run then? Good, then mine is reinforced. I bought mine a couple months before the GMT-900 hit the lots (and got a killer deal because of that).

Pickup_man > shop-teacher 01/24/2017 at 11:13

I’m assuming that’s what happened, in the video it says that one is reinforced and one isn’t, that’s all I know.
